Okay, so the very first thing Ms. Patti Stanger wants you to try is something she calls Dating Detox. Basically you need to stop being depressed, or being an all out bitch in some cases, and get to your happy place! Her theory: No man really wants to date a bitchy, depressed broad. Sounds reasonable enough, right? Men want happy, bubbly. And since I am niether of those- well, I guess I've got some work to do.
There isn't anything about Natalie Portman I don't like. She starred and directed the film.
In case you needed anymore incentive to rent it, Bradley Cooper was in it as well. Yum.
So I am suppossed to self indulge. It's all about me for 60 days. Twice as long as the recommended 30 days she says, because it's been That long since I have actually been on a date. And here's why:
*feel free to skip this sappy part about my sad love life and move on to the bottom. Hell, it's not like I'll ever know, right? No hurt feelings.*
(Que violin music...)
So, on Christmas day 2007 my entire family gathered around as my high school sweetheart proposed. I cried. The ring was beautiful. We moved in together, he worked full time and started a business on the side. I worked full time and went to school. No time for romance. Things fell apart. Everything came crashing down about a year later, and we officially canceled the wedding three weeks before the wedding date. Were all the plans already made and paid for you ask? Why, yes they were- so it was a humiliating, costly disaster to cancel a wedding three weeks before hand. Oh, and here's the kicker, since I was still in school and couldn't afford rent on my own, guess where I went after I moved out of his place? Yep, back home to mom and dad's at the age of 31. Nice, huh?
So Day 1. I actually went to work with a smile on my face, and instead of coming home to get on the computer I had Movie Night. On a Monday- just because the rule always seems to be Friday or Saturday nights for Movie Night. So I self-indulged, said I'm doing whatever the hell I want to do and had movie night with a big bowl of chips and guacamole- which I LOVE! Okay, so it wasn't exactly earth-shattering but Patti says I need to begin to enjoy the simple pleasures in life again, things that don't cost a whole lot of money. And she was right. I watched "New York, I Love You" because not only do I love guacamole- but I also love NYC. So it was a win, win and I'm happy.
There isn't anything about Natalie Portman I don't like. She starred and directed the film.
Wonder what I'll do tomorrow?
